Gins recognized for safety programs

Zion Gin Co., Brownsville, Tenn., was named 2004 grand prize winner of the best gin safety program in the five-state area of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association. They have won the award four of the past five years.

“At Zion Gin, safety starts at the top, with the company president, and it goes all the way down the list of employees,” says Larry Davis, safety director for SCGA. “The emphasis on safety is planned, coordinated, and executed to insure a very high level of awareness by every member of the staff.”
